Something called "Sedan" would be better. A WW1 veteran who was part of the honour guard during Germany's capitulation in a train wagon is now living in the town and is forced to help the French infantry fighting the Germans attack, until they finally cross the Meuse river thanks to Rommel and constant pummeling by Stukas. Movie ends with the signing of the Armistice in that same wagon and the veteran killing himself.

Don't worry the help from the frenchies is shown clearly, but it's ofcourse primarily about the britbois on the beach and their evacuation, the narrative is already split up on three parts (sea, land, air) and to add a whole another part focused on the frogs exclusively would just turn it to a mess.

Britain was the first the break Versailles by blockading German ports post-armistice. Then France and Britain further broke it by not agreeing to disarmament as per the treaty. Then France illegally invaded the Rhineland.

Obviously, we didn't have to, as is implied in your whiny criticism.

We didn't lose; we pulled out upon a cease-fire after bombing the crap out of the north; the south then lost when the north broke the cease-fire, and we didn't reengage. But to the extent that we did lose, we "lost" to college professors.

Much better than staying alive because you just happen to live in an island.

I love how this film completely exposes Americans and Europeans for not understanding British patriotism at all.

Americans cannot understand how one can be patriotic without shouting all the time, references to God and 'being blessed', or being generally loud and annoying.

Europeans cannot grasp how an apparently small and similar European nation has dominated world politics and war for so long without recourse to 'little nation syndrome'.

Glorious.

>The apolitical Nolan transforms the “anti-war” genre into his patented “life is cheap” genre. Each sequence that details the brutal tragedy of warfare is punishing yet remote.

To understand why Charge of the Light Brigade/Bridge over the River Kwai/Dunkirk give Britons pride, you need to be British.

Even though we were then defeated militarily, the defeat only served to increase Britain's psychological strength. Until Dunkirk, the war had been uneventful and even 'boring', gaining the name Phony War in Britain; and British people made light of it.

Then shit got real, then Dunkirk, then came the fighting spirit.

I've never understood why Brits are so proud. Permanent grey sky, ugly, terraced red-bricks everywhere, expensive as fuck, pebbled beaches, young people thrown under a bus with low wage jobs, affirmative action, expensive housing and exorbitant tuition fees, no cool wildlife or awe-inspiring natural beauty, and sedentary, arrogant and ignorant populace, a nanny state which bans anything fun or makes it prohibitively expensive, and now only further irrelevance thanks to the travesty of Brexit.

Not even close. The Spaniards exploited their colonies for slaves and silver. The British actually tried to improve lives and establish new countries.

Britons, thinking that Britain has a God-given civilising mission for the world, have for centuries left these islands for the four corners of the Earth, and eventually formed new civilisations. And when Britain had more ships than the entire rest of the world combined: what did they do? Invade other countries?

But this one takes the cake as far as bullshit goes.
Spanish conquistadores built churches and schools where they went out of a desire of making the natives part of their Empire, while the brits saw them as nothing more than secondary citizens.
Brits in north America were still warring against the native population as late as the beginning of the 20th century, while the Spanish conquered territories achieved stability far earlier, converting the native populations.

You've bought into the whole "black legend" bullshit, perpetuated by brits trying to defame the Spanish, one of the biggest lies ever told in history.
If the Spanish were so evil and the British so good, why is it that native north americans are all but extinct, while in South America you can still find genetic traces of native population?

Their states went down the shitter when they started chimping out and starting revolutions against Spain that eventually ended in success since Spain was already too weak to hold its sovereignty.
Yes, for Spain it would've been better if they just genocided the native population, replaced it and took all the riches, but they didn't because they wanted to expand the Empire to the new world and expand the Catholic faith (which is something that was a complete success).

Sure, Britain is still powerful and Spain is a shithole, you can laugh all you want about that, but what you can't do is go on the Internet and say how the brits were peaceful and good-willed while the Spanish were bloodthirsty savages because that's utter bullshit.

This is incorrect, though. They actually financed half of the coalitions that failed miserably against Napoleon, while sitting on their island because they knew not even Wellington was a match against Napoleon openly and that they were untouchable as long as they didn't move.

And now you glimpse how it is for the rest of the world when America releases its garbage.

Dunkirk, and all the rest, are British films about British battles featuring British people.

Of course they're not going to focus on the Prussians at Waterloo, or the French at Dunkirk. Nolan's (primary) audience is Britain, and no Briton wants to watch a film about the fucking French.

It would be the same if America made a film about the D-Day landings and having no British or Canadians in it...

Of course. I mean over 100,000 French made it to England during the Dunkirk evacuation. Most were repatriated back to France within weeks.... then surrendered.

PS. The British *never* portray themselves as a 'lumbering', big fighter. Britain and the British always see themselves as the small, underwhelming force, who would never in a million years win, but that after a few setbacks, always comes out on top.

That's the meme. And the British love it.

Who doesn't love it? You see that in american films literally all the time. Saving Private Ryan, considered the "greatest WWII movie of all time" is literally the underdog group of ragtag americans BTFOing a horde of germans. Same thing happened in Fury. Everyone likes the underdog story.

>It's always the "underdog" and "against all odds" narrative.
Well, yes about that you're right and it's inane for things to be depicted that way since Britain has almost been able to gather huge alliances to itself so they could maintain a certain status-quo.
Which is why it angers me that we have to beset with all those films of the British being the under-dog having to heave the weight of every battle unto itself, when a lot of the wars they've ever been in was wriggling through alliances instead and financing everyone just enough for them to stay in the fight.

I don't know though. In all honesty, British movies are quite true to life. I'd say it's more in your own popular belief that you delude yourselves about fantasies of being "the one who did it all".
Like how the Somme is remembered as a British battle, when more French participated in it than Rosbifs.

>>85260513
Ah but I'm a Frog friend. And we're always kind with our allies in our movies.

>>85260551
>then surrendered.
Eh, mainly Pétain did. The French were actually pinning the Germans hard against the Somme, and had been at it for a month even when Petain corroborated to sign an armistice, and the French soldiers were disgusted that their fighting was disregarded like that.

That's a fair point. I'd argue most nations do that, but then I have to ask If the Somme remembered as an Allied battle in France or do you do what we do?
>>
>>85260543
>all the way to when America finally took the lead in the 1940's
America took the lead technologically at the turn of the century, and in terms of superiority by late teens, codified into a permanency by the naval treaties of the 1920s. Our 1940s production bonanza is merely the era in which the Brits and every other aspiring sea power was eternally BTFO.
>>
>>85260668
Perhaps but almost nothing worth mentioning about WW1/WW2 and french history in general
>>
>>85260715
>They also famously threw down their weapons and declares that "Hitler was no enemy of mine",
Only those that considered they'd been betrayed by the British. The French navy promptly tried to flee to the Allied side of the world where it'd be able to make itself useful, and a portion of the forces in the colonies recognized no authority but those sieging in London.

Also, big "muh at least he's better than the commies xD we had in the government before" sentiment so yeah.

The German armies were having a hard time reinforcing.

This idea that Hitler wanted not to slaughter the British army so he could ally with them, is a little far-fetched given Churchill's bellicosity.
>>
>>85260785
>That's a fair point. I'd argue most nations do that, but then I have to ask If the Somme remembered as an Allied battle in France or do you do what we do?
Hmm, well the Somme isn't thought of a lot in France. Where the British screwed themselves over by levying only newbies for the battle, the French army funneled quite the experienced troops there, and in the first day of the assault, the French veterans captured all the objectives they'd been tasked while the British green boys were inflicted a scathing defeat. So there's not a lot of reason for it to be remembered, since there's no "muh sacrifice" to jerk ourselves to. So we let the Brits wank themselves to it.

Also, the battle of Verdun was happening at the same time, where 180,000 French soldiers died, so it's the one we fellate ourselves to instead.

"On ne passe pas" and shit.

I think part of the reason we go on is because to us there was no real point in fighting WW1 anyway. It was a waste of life over land that was never ours.

Although where I'll meet with you is that for Britain it was slightly pointless since Germany was neutered, but France was actually free to remain as the main continental power of Europe, which the Brits later sorely regretted.

>>85260956
Yah, true, only the Toulon fleet. And the ligues were violently inched out of the politics of the country, but they remained potent enough because the army itself had a certain kindness towards their ideas, and the government couldn't really interfere with where the army set their loyalties else there'd be a coup.

Well I mean that's a tough one to answer. It would've probably quickly dawned on them that Germany could appropriate French colonies for themselves could they overpower the French, and the French, who were smaller still, had been a bitch to deal with in Africa, so I don't think Britain would've wanted the even more militaristic germans as rivals instead.

They'd have probably swung in to help France once it had proven it *might* yet win by winning at the Marne and pushing the Germans back.

Probably not more, not less than the other European countries.

Here's what happened in the Channel Islands that were occupied by germans:
>The population actively resisting German occupation in continental European countries was between 0.6% and 3%, and the percentage of the islander population participating in active resistance is comparable.[25] From a wartime population of 66,000 in the Channel Islands[26] a total of around 4000 islanders were sentenced for breaking laws (around 2600 in Jersey and 1400 in Guernsey), although many of these were for ordinary criminal acts rather than resistance;

>The RN and the British/Comonwealth merchant navies literally dwarfed the American navies right into the 40's and was a FAR more powerful force than Americas until it got its ass into gear
And all of these merchant navies were at the mercy of the US sub forces, should we Americans have turned against Britain, or later our carrier forces. Rule Britannia was obviously fucking done when the industrial revolution spread to countries that had in their possession coal and coke, and sea power would no longer be determined by wood worked design; all the has transpired in the last hundred years to detract from the west's cultural dominance is owing to Britain obstinate insistence that Rule Britannia was NOT done. At least your naval planners understood that it was, but only at the very last. That's why the UK agreed to the 1920's arms limitations that we demanded in the first place; a country satisfied of their own superiority does not allow itself to by limited in the instrumentation of their supremacy. If the common brticuck hadn't realized it when the USS Baltimore showed up the RN in front of your stupid queen, or when your great armada was stagnated by a johnny-come-lately High Seas Fleet which in the final analysis was only a risk fleet to deter from war (one you happily waged regardless), you should at least have understood how thoroughly fucked you were when the United States of Fucking America gave you fifty (50!) ships to keep your poor asses from raising the white flag in 1940.
